Many of us have probably heard the expression that age is just a number. This may be somewhat comforting as we get older. However, when we look around at those that are younger than us, can we see the lessons they have to teach us?
As we think about age, we often think of growing wisdom as we get older. However, we are reminded in first Timothy that we can learn lessons from all ages. We should not look down on those that are younger than us. We should not dismiss the experiences and wisdom of those that are older. Instead, we should embrace everyone and celebrate the gifts and experiences that God has given each of us. Together we do not need to worry about the number of age, but we can praise God in the number of believers united in Him!
Don't worry about the number that is age, but learn from people of all ages as God brings us together for His glory!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the experiences and lessons in my life. Help me to learn Your lessons from others as You use me to also teach them. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
